I typed out a huge rant in response to this, absolutely hating that series for reasons I can’t get started on without spiraling into an unhinged rant again, and decided that was way too negative a response for some casual excitement about an upcoming series.
All I’ll say instead is I hope the show is better about staying on theme than the novels were.
And, hey, best case scenario?
We finally get a good Definitely-Not-Space-Marines show.
In all fairness I just started the 3rd book and I’m unsure of where they’re going with it right now… but the first two were great reads. The whole class color system is a bit weird at times I have to admit but it’s still great entertainment. I’d also be interested to read your opinion more than a rant about it if you feel like it.
The problem in that case is I absolutely can’t talk about the problems with it without spoiling the ending and quite a lot of the drama from the third book, but I will say I enjoyed the series quite a lot, teen drama and all, until #3.
I’ll also say if you loved the combat in the second book you’ll love some 40k Space Marine novels because it was basically just a typical Astartes drop pod assault, including the MC melting a guy’s face with definitely-not-a-Betcher-Gland.
This may or may not be true for your area. Often people make this assumption when they’ve been told this factoid (including me for many years!), but visit your local recycling center to find out what they do. Sometimes yes, recycling gets landfilled. Or burned. But some places do the work and source stuff out. It’s worth finding out what happens to your waste.
(My wife is big into recycling, composting, etc, and has had a number of conversations with our local recycling people and has toured the plant a couple of times. She’s taught me a lot, and shown that at least in my area and for specific materials, a lot of what I cynically assumed about recycling just isn’t true.)
When I was a garbage man (covid was a weird time) one stop was a business that made those benches, beach chairs, picnic tables etc. Every other week that dumpster was filled to the brim with leftover pieces and “sawdust”. We don’t have a recycling center in the area so guess where that all goes?
I am legitimately sick of Tattooine. Despite supposedly being a remote criminal hideout in the outer rim, it feels more like the center of the goddamn galaxy than fucking Coruscant. The Skywalker saga, Obi-Wan series, Mandalorian/BoBF, even a good chunk of KotOR took place there.
I swear they just teased another video game and mentioned it would be a featured location. WHY?? Use Jakku or one of like 50 million other planets.
(Yes I read the other cynical responses, this is mostly rhetorical)
Tatooine has some cool history that i wish they explored. (Anyone more knowledged, please clarify).
Tatooine used to be a lush green planet. Something happened, like 10,000+ years bby ago, that cut off the planet from the force. Turning it into a lifeless desert planet. The planet has inferior metals. There’s no reason for anyone to be living there.
Even though it’s cut off from the force, something still draws everything to the planet… (OOC, it’s just cheaper to film in the desert than building a set, as said before)
